The Jacquet massage technique - named after its French creator, Dr. Jacquet, who used it to treat injured soldiers. It was adopted in Russian hospitals in the 1930s and is now used widely as a treatment for acne-prone skin and as a part of the massage course. Performed on dry skin, quick pinching movements oxygenate tissues, boost circulation, cellular activity, improving secretory function of the sebaceous and sweat glands and activating lymphatic drainage. This technique is not only a powerful anti-acne tool but an effective way to warm up and tone facial muscles, making them firm and plump.

Indications: Acne-prone oily skin, hyperseborrhea. Also, changes in the skin tone, colour and facial contours.
Contraindications: Eczema, acute rosacea, active herpes virus symptoms, open wounds, facial warts, acute hypertension, inflammation affecting facial cranial nerve, acute dental conditions (e.g. pulpitis).

Plastic massage technique - is a deep tissue facial massage, called "plasticheski" in Russian because it aims to return plasticity to the structure of the face. The technique is a complete facial workout, a mechanical muscle stimulation along the facial cranial nerve pathway and acupressure points. It increases the blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Performed on dry skin, with some kaolin or magnesium flour, the treatment dramatically restores muscle tone with a noticeable firming and rejuvenating effect.

Indications: Low muscle tone and elasticity, dull skin tone, mimic and deep wrinkles, ageing skin with changes in facial contours. Also, it is ideal as a treatment for post-acne condition in combination with the Jacquet massage.
Contraindications: Eczema, acute rosacea, active herpes virus symptoms, open wounds, facial warts, acute hypertension, inflammation affecting facial cranial nerve, acute dental conditions (e.g. pulpitis).
